Feel good about contributing to animal care
Through volunteering with us, you'll play a vital role in raising funds for our animal sanctuary. Your time and effort directly translate into better care for rescued animals.
Does this sound good to you? Join our compassionate team of volunteers today and make a difference in the lives of animals in need!
We are now asking that all volunteers, whether you are looking to help directly with the animals, at events, or at one of our Community Hubs, to supply two professional references with their online application form. Once the references have been completed a member of the team will be in touch with you to invite you to an induction session at our site in Holmeswood, or to arrange a trial shift at your preferred Community Hub.
Please note that application forms without two professional references will not be considered.
We have taken this step to protect the safety and welfare of everyone who is invovled with Woodlands Animal Sanctuary.
We appreciate your cooperation with this.
